In a recent meeting with the American Psychological Association on Monday in Washington, researchers said that violent video games do not seem to make children more aggressive. It's about time someone stood up and told the truth for once.After filling out the questionnaires, the children played one of two computer games, one violent and the other non-violent, for 15 minutes…. Then they were given some imaginary circumstances meant to trigger either possible violent or empathetic responses…. Having just played a violent game did not seem to affect the responses, Funk and Buchman told the conference. |
